The benchmark test confirms that ALIS is one of the most powerful and robust Life & Pensions applications in the world, suitable for Tier-I and global insurance companies. The results indicated that the system is fully scalable, in a nearly linear way, over the platform used.

All end-to-end overnight batches (including month-end) were completed in less than two hours on the Power 7 configuration and in less than two and a half hours on the Power 6 configuration. The main executed batches were Charges; Billing; Payment dispersal; General Ledger extract; Audit Control; Renewal; and letters production.

Commenting on benchmarking, Mr. Juergen Weiss, Senior Analyst at Gartner, said:  "Benchmarking is an important aspect for insurers to assess the future performance of their core insurance application. Gartner sees a tendency among international insurers to establish cross-border transactions, which makes those benchmarks even more important."

Mr. Roni Al-Dor, President & CEO of Sapiens stated: "This benchmark demonstrates the capabilities of ALIS to scale up to the large data processing volumes of Tier-I and global insurers worldwide. I am confident that our customers will find it as a practical aid in planning their computing needs to support their business growth."
